Sperling presents Anousha Payne’s second exhibition in Munich, featuring a new collaboration with sound and performance artist Ushara. Expanding on Payne’s earlier exhibition at Sperling’s former Regerplatz space, the show combines sculpture, sound, and live performance to explore the ecology and psychology of the home. Inspired in part by Kitty Doherty’s concrete poem (from which the title is borrowed), various short stories, as well as personal experiences, it unfolds a narrative of growing anxiety as a protagonist becomes trapped within her domestic space, shaped by encounters with non-human presences.
Payne’s practice moves between personal experience, fiction, and myth, using assemblage, found objects, and cast bronze to question material hierarchies and cultural values. Ushara's sound- and performance-based work adds poetry, field recordings, and bodily presence, intensifying the exhibition’s emotional and psychological atmosphere.
